Effects of xylanase on growth performances of piglets.1
| Item | Group 1 (Control) | Group 2 (BX group) | Group 3 (TX group) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial BW, kg | 10.36 ± 0.35 | 10.32 ± 0.32 | 10.31 ± 0.32 |
| Final BW, kg | 25.07 ± 0.59 | 25.43 ± 0.66 | 25.93 ± 0.58 |
| ADG, g | 523 ± 13.0b | 540 ± 17.1b | 566 ± 11.4a |
| ADFI, g | 928 ± 31.9 | 895 ± 48.8 | 946 ± 48.0 |
| FCR | 1.78 ± 0.08 | 1.66 ± 0.07 | 1.64 ± 0.04 |
BX = bacterial xylanase; TX = tri-bacterial xylanase.
a,b Within a row, means without a common superscript differ (P < 0.05).
The control group was fed the basal diet; the BX group and TX group were fed basal diets supplemented with 0.01% bacterial and fungal xylanase, respectively.
